About this listen

It's 1942 and talented young artist Emily Torrance is brutally murdered. Seventy-five years later, Jim Mercer, a reporter for the LA Times, covers a J. Paul Getty Museum showing of Emily's work and is smitten by her self-portrait. Eventually becoming obsessed with the slain artist, Mercer investigates her murder and discovers something the cops of 1942 missed: evidence of Emily's killer, but more - proof of time travel. Mercer will leap back through time to 1942 to save Emily Torrance, if she can be saved, because he's found proof his future self has already time-travelled.

Absolutely loved it. A brilliant story, with the concept of time travel, I was constantly guessing what might happen.

Brilliant

Very enjoyable. The story is interesting throughout. The main character seems a bit cringy at times. The mystery and suspense keep this book interesting.

Great Story

OK, some of the story may be very hard to believe, but does that really matter? This was my favourite listen since joining Audible. I enjoy science fiction, but there has to be a good story. This was good. I must admit that the main character rather annoyed me at times, but I forgave him by the end. As far fetched as the story was, I could easily understand why he fell in love with Emily. Well worth five stars.

A wonderful story and so well narrated

I enjoyed this book,, lots of passion and expression in the narration . Took a while to get going back that was because of necessary background story. loved the pictures created of past west coast America. well worth a listen.

Good time travel and past history

rarely has a book pulled so strongly at my emotions. this story had me gripped in ways that surprised me. don't be put off by the slow start, we need the background to fully immerse us in the story. Enjoy!
